Pittsburgh is toast — to mix your hot and cold metaphors — in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Red Wings 5, Penguins 0 at the end of two. Detroit tallied four goals in the 2d, three on power plays. The younger, less mature Pens cracked in the same way Chicago’s similarly youthful cracked in [...]
Detroit and Pittsburgh are competing in the finals of the world’s most arduous and taxing sport.
What astonishes me is that this is the 3d Stanley Cup Finals game in the last four days. That’s right, kids. So the next time some NFLer complains about no time to rehab for a Sunday game after a Monday [...]
It’s Hockey Night at the Seedy K-Dome.
It’s by default. No hoops. No NCAA baseball. I can’t bring myself to cyberwatch the Tigers/ Red Sox series. Boston’s already up 3-1. Ouch.
So pucks it is. Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.
Why I say Detroit is stalwart is this. Max Talbot tallied early for the hard charging [...]
Okay, so I was wrong, really wrong about the whole LeBron thing. I said they’d call enough fouls against Orlando to make sure Cleveland made it to the Finals against LA LA. Wellllllll, it’s gonna stink worse than the Outer Loop landfill if the LeBrons prevail. The Magic are up 21 with less than 10:00 [...]
Louisville’s Cardinals are down 0-2 early to Middle Tennessee out at Patterson Field.
Due to several circumstances — all legit — I didn’t make it out to the ballyard. Okay, I’m feeling more than a little guilty, but sometimes real life imposes itself. Like staying home with the Film Babe, picking up stepson at the airport, [...]
There are probably fewer of you watching the Red Wings and Black Hawks than watched this afternoon’s soccer championship.
Just to advise you’re missing a good one.
Detroit’s leading the series 3-1, but tonight’s game is tied at 1 going into OT. Both goalkeepers — Detroit’s Chris Osgood and Chitown’s Cristobal Huet — have been magnificent. Both [...]
. . . would that be Heaven or Hell?????
Reports are that the virulent new head mentor at Florida International, former Knick coach and sexual harrasser Isiah Thomas, is trying to convince septic recruit Lance Stephenson that southern Florida is just the place for him to pursue his lofty higher educational goals.
Is college basketball a warm [...]

As much as I love hoops — and you know I do — there’s little as exciting in May as Stanley Cup playoff hockey.
Especially with a couple of offensive juggernauts like Pittsburgh and Washington battling on the ice.
(Okay, before I go further, let me admit this. I am not, by any stretch [...]
Remember what I said about the Penguins vs. Caps Eastern Division series in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs? How Alex Ovechkin vs. Sidney Crosby is the equivalent of Kobe vs. LeBron, maybe better? Remember how I told ya to pay attention?
Okay, so last night the duo went hat trick vs. hat trick. [...]
The Ducks just scored 1:15 into the Third Overtime, to win it 4-3 over my Detroit Red Wings. Damn.
The series is tied 1-1.
Pittsburgh plays Washington Monday night. That series features the NHL’s version of Kobe vs. LeBron. That would be the Penguins’ Sidney Crosby vs. the Caps’ Alex Ovechkin.
